Passive High Voltage Probes
P5100A-TPP0850-P5122-P5150-P6015A Datasheet
Safe high voltage probe solutions for ground-referenced voltage testing. It
is critical to safely and accurately capture real-time signal information from
"elevated" or "floating" voltage systems. Our portfolio of high voltage probes
provides the safety you need for single-ended, differential or isolated
measurements.

P5100A High-Voltage Probe
The P5100A is a low input capacitance, high-voltage probe (2.5 kV)
designed for higher-frequency applications. The probe can be
compensated to match plug-ins and oscilloscopes with nominal input
capacitances of 7-30 pF. A variety of screw-on accessories provide easy
connection to the device-under-test.

TPP0850 High-Voltage Probe
The TPP0850 offers the industry's highest bandwidth probe (800 MHz) for
high-voltage signals (up to 2500 Vp-p). This is ideal for testing power
semiconductors and switch-mode power supplies, which continue to
increase in switching speed to minimize power loss, creating a need for
faster rise time, higher bandwidth, and higher voltage probes. The
TPP0850 meets this need and can be used with switching transistor circuits
operating at 1200 VRMS, above the voltage operating range of standard
general-purpose probes. It will also be able to accommodate emerging
power applications that will require even faster rise time capabilities.
P5150 and P5122 IsolatedChannel™
Applications
In many applications, it is important to be able to isolate the measurement
from earth ground and also to isolate the common voltage between
channels. The P5150 or P5122, coupled with the TPS2000 and THS3000
Series digital storage oscilloscopes, deliver both the isolation for the
measurement from earth ground and full isolation between the channels.
The P5150 is the recommended probe for measuring ripple on high-voltage
DC supplies. The P5122 probe should not be used on the TPS2000 Series
oscilloscopes for AC-coupled measurements on signals with greater than
300 V DC offset.
P6015A High-Voltage Probe
For heavy-duty high-performance measurements of voltages over 2.5 kV,
the P6015A is the industry standard. You can measure DC voltages up to
20 kVRMSand pulses up to 40 kV (peak, 100 ms duration). The 75 MHz
bandwidth enables you to capture fast, high-voltage signals.
The P6015A uses an environmentally safe silicone compound for a
dielectric and never needs refilling. Other features include: A 7-49 pF
compensation range, small compensation box that fits on adjacent amplifier
inputs, and a readout option for use with most Tektronix digital scopes.
With the readout option, displayed voltage amplitude values will be the
actual signal value rather than understated by a factor of 1,000.
Note: Using the readout version with other than Tektronix digital
oscilloscopes may result in an erroneous readout display.
